Convict or acquit until they have the case. and they dont have the case until she presents it to them. so in some ways she can delay it at least for some time. i think at some point if the delay is too excessive the public will clamor for that trial to get a decision one way or the other. but she does have some leverage i think to perhaps force the hand of some witnesses to come testify, and well see how quickly the supreme court can act. but if she could stall long enough, we might actually get...

Sitting all over kansas, mountains of corn and wheat and we will have place to go with those. its going to create thousands of jobs. go back to the certainty and dont forget this is going to put more leverage on china because this is the most comprehensive, the highest standard any trade agreement ever negotiated. president trump and u.s. tr bob lighthizer have done an incredible job. >> you went down to mexico at the beginning of the negotiations. im sort of puzzled that a negotiation was done ...

Republican. this is the first time weve seen a congress of one party in the house and the other party in the senate facing an impeachment trial. that means were in fresh territory. weve never seen this before. well see how nancy pelosi handles it and what kind of precedent it sets, whether shes able to leverage something with senator mcconnell. remember, very few people have leverage over senator mcconnell. senator schumer might want to in the senate but he doesnt have the votes. the few people ...

House will delay that process or even if they will do it at all. if they delay, they seem -- there seems to be a sense it gives them at least among some democrats some leverage to force mcmcconnells hand. when you look at the politics might be tough to see where the leverage is for democrats. >> i dont know if somebody was listening to us when we had our conversation but it appears we have news, im going to ask my executive producer to give it to me, im not seeing it on my phone, mitch mcconnell...

Sense. the problem with the letter and is not just what it is, a troubling, and he includes in this letter things that he presents as facts which are factually untrue. for example, he writes you know full well that vice president biden used his office and $1 million of u.s. aid money paying his sons millions of dollars. you know this because biden bragged about it on video. okay. biden did brag about firing the prosecutor on video, but thats because he did nothing wrong. he was carrying out t...

American people get to hear from these witnesses. the overwhelming majority want to hear from bolden and mulvaney. they want documents from the state department to be -- >> are holding the articles potential point of leverage for you? >> well, that will be a decision for the leadership. >> what do you think strategically. could it be? >> i dont know the answer. but i do know this. there are witnesses that have knowledge. they are witnesses like john bolton that the senate should hear from. there...

Judiciary committee twice before and this third time brings me no joy. president nixon attempted to corrupt the president. his agents broke into the democratic party headquarters to get a leg up on the election and then like president trump he tried to cover it up. then he resigned. this is even worse. he used the foreign government to do it. the u.s. aid to fight the russians as leverage solely to benefit his own political campaign. george washington would be astonished since he warned against ...

But look, i think ultimately the bet that they made is that they had to produce some kind of leverage with the base between now and primary season of democrats in order to protect the 2018 class from being wiped out by a bunch of young, unelectable democrats that walk into the 2020 election and promptly lose their majority for them. that is fine for the time being. over time, you see the error in that judgment. i think what you are seeing in the poll movement come at the center of the country sa...

Youre involved at that point. you served briefly on muellers team. thats how i came to know your name. should we the public understand the special counsels investigation looked at this scary core question of whether the president was subject to influence or leverage by russia or any other foreign force? or was that the kind of counterintelligence investigation youre talking about before which is secret which well never know about which might in fact be ongoing? >> so its really the former. my un...

Decision, they see that i struggled through it and that independently a decision based on my oath of office and my integrity. hopefully they want representatives that reflect that. >> you said this past weekend when you spoke to constituents that you felt this was the right decision in your bones. what is it about your decision that made you say this is the way i must vote? >> certainly given my national security background, the cia and the pentagon, this very basic idea that the president of th...
